"Logos" LP

Over several Summer 2017 sessions at International Anthem's HQ Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Wayward Machine Co storefront & our drummer's home (all on the same 3200 block of Morgan Street in the Southside Chicago neighborhood of Bridgeport), we settled into comfortable confines with International Anthem, making space to improvise, incubate & innovate. What’s heard on the ultimate product of this homegrown process (Logos) is us laying our voices bare, at once aware of cultural context, informed by aesthetic precursors, and yet fully irreverent to expectations or how any of this might be “appropriately” employed. Each composition offers a bridge into a sonic landscape that speaks to histories of migration and arts of living that have been central to everything from house music to blues, Latinx punk to salsa in the City of Chicago. Logos presents an idealized new progressive American music, as rooted in Chicago as it is communicable with the world. We have been steadily tipping forward into something more future-minded & universal this whole time, something that transcends the nationalism many of us are desperately trying to depart from, but don’t have the vocabulary to fully escape. "Logos," our International Anthem debut, is a bold & vulnerable push into this transcendence, our effort to proactively poeticize the future in sound.
